After 20 years in investigative journalism Stevie Cameron is liked by most, feared by some and respected by everyone. She is built with integrity.
As Editor of newly formed Elm Street, Stevie Cameron has introduced a contemporary magazine for Canadians. The magazine, about health, finance, and lifestyle, is experiencing a very successful first year. It is distributed to 750,000 homes in Canada’s 15 largest cities and is available on newstands everywhere. But she’s not stopping there. She’s currently working on two new books.
As a community leader, Stevie Cameron heads "Out Of The Cold", an organization created to feed the homeless. The group faces an ever increasing number of destitute every day, providing well-balanced hot meals in an effort to help their clientele through bitterly cold temperatures.
Her varied and fascinating career began as food editor of the Toronto Star (in addition to her graduate work in philosophy at the University of London, she's also a certificate-holder of Paris' elite Cordon Blue cooking school) and as lifestyles editor of the Ottawa Citizen. Then her career soared as a parliamentary reporter and columnist first for the Citizen, and later for the Globe and Mail.
The author of the national best-seller, On the Take: Crime Corruption and Greed in the Mulroney Years, it is difficult to think of a Canadian journalist who has had more impact on the nation's political map than Stevie Cameron. Named "Author of the Year" and awarded "Book of the Year" by the Foundation for the Advancement of Canadian Letters in 1994, Ms. Cameron is widely recognized as the finest investigative reporter of her generation.
Her writing is in constant demand from virtually every Canadian magazine, including Maclean's (as contributing editor), Saturday Night and L'Actualite (she's bilingual). She also appears regularly as a commentator on the CBC's The National, As it Happens, Morningside and dozens of other public affairs forums.
Her award-winning investigative work has been wide-ranging and includes many ground-breaking stories:
1995, Macleans - Offshore Millions - How Canadians hide their money offshore 1994, Saturday Night - Investigation of the prosecution bungles in the Westray Mining disaster 1993, Globe and Mail - team leader, with members of the sports department, for the Alan Eagleson investigative series 1993, Globe and Mail - Mulroney’s last patronage spree 1993, Globe and Mail - Mila Mulroney’s $150,000 furniture sale 1993, Globe and Mail - special investigative piece on Saskatchewan’s debt; how it grew from almost nothing to $15 billion during the Grant Devine era.
Acknowledged as having the most comprehensive and up-to-date Rolodex in the country, Cameron understands the art of Canadian politics as well as the science of soufflé. She knows where all the skeletons have been buried and she has been fearless in exposing wrongdoing and malfeasance wherever it occurs. Equally impressive in person as she is in print, Stevie Cameron offers an eye-opening presentation that you will not soon forget.
